Psychologically a much needed half.

The only concern is they had to work their butts off AGAIN, just to be ahead by 1. Can they keep up this effort? 3rd quarter ahead.

I'll take this unselfish, lower-usage but more efficient Bagley over 6-16 Bags any night.

Turnovers hurt, if those were even the Kings are probably up 5

See buddy’s face before halftime.... 
It is 4.
S'why I'd like to see someone else in the rotation. Fox, Holmes, and Barnes have all logged 18 min or more and this is their 3rd game in 4 nights. A lot to ask.

Maybe, but some of them were right at the start before the game settled in. Regardless the Kings looked like they got out of a sauna after that half, the Pacers really didn't. They weren't nearly as frantic with what they were doing.

I feel like Woodard would have been that nice last piece off the bench to give some guys a breather.

But the payoff could be two of those games were basically nights off in regards to effort. haha.

Figured it would be Buddy. I checked, and it was.
Yup. 4 of the Pacers' first 3 buckets came off TO's. 7 since then isn't bad at all.

Waltons not stupid. He knows he has to tighten that rotation at the very least. I'm interested to see the Pacers and whether they adjust. This so far has been a very similar matchup to the Nuggets which plays into Walton's scheme.
Yeah. I needed scare quotes around "games."
Coming into the season I expected Buddy and Bagley to have career/breakout years respectively. I wouldn't have ever guessed that Harrison Barnes would be the revelation.

To be fair Sabonis “leads” the Pacers at -3

You have to admit it makes sense though right? Bagley and Buddy are being completely misused for the most part while Barnes is a perfect grindball post up player. Barnes is also playing more PF this year. Depending on the game of course.

The question is why now? He has always been smart, strong and decently athletic. He was also the #1 prospect at one time.

Good. He’s been CoJo bad this year.
I’d like to see Bjeli get traded to Washington after the game

No way. Two slugs next to each other, their game doesn’t compliment each other at all.

Against the Pacers it might. Outside of their super small lineup their unit with Sabonis and the smalls didn't look to dominant.
